Jumping Ship

(альбом: Arrested Youth & The Quarantiners - 2020)

My state of mind is like a switch
I never know just when I'll flip
Some days I write, some days I dip
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship
Oh, captain, captain, where do we go?
The water's rising down below
It's no surprise I've lost my shit
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship

If I shot an SOS up in the air
Sometimes I wonder if someone would see my flare
And if a tidal wave came crashing in
Sometimes I wonder, would I sink or would I swim?

I'm searching for a treasure that can never be found
The water's getting deeper, there's no lighthouse around
I'm looking for a way to co-exist
I'm just waiting on someone to catch my drift

My state of mind is like a switch
I never know just when I'll flip
Some days I write, some days I dip
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship
Oh, captain, captain, where do we go?
The water's rising down below
It's no surprise I've lost my shit
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship

Some days I'm lost without a paddle in this river of life
And I over complicate it, yeah, I always think twice
I make up conversations that don't even exist
The other day I got so angry that I balled up my fists
And punched a hole in my wall, is this who I've become?
Then I went to Home Depot and bought myself a glue gun
I tried to piece it back together when I got home that night
I'm always walking on the plank, I need to get my shit right

My state of mind is like a switch
I never know just when I'll flip
Some days I write, some days I dip
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship
Oh, captain, captain, where do we go?
The water's rising down below
It's no surprise I've lost my shit
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship

My state of mind is like a switch
I never know just when I'll flip
Some days I write, some days I dip
I wish that I'd quit jumping ship

Hey, ho, what can I say?
All hands on deck, we'll be okay
Hey, ho, what can I say?

Hey, ho, what can I say?
We're all washed up, but that's okay
Hey, ho, what can I say?
